More than 100 trucks carrying U.S. supplies crossed into Syrian territory controlled by the PKK/PYD terror group on Monday night.

The convoy of 112 fuel tankers, covered trucks and low-loaders carrying military Humvees was observed by an Anadolu Agency correspondent as it passed through Syria's Hasakah province.

The U.S. announced in May that it was to supply arms to the PKK/PYD, the Syrian affiliate of the PKK, which has waged a 33-year terror campaign against Turkey. The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and EU.
